Abstract
Described are cotton fibres, yarns and fabrics functionalized with aminoglycoside antibiotics and a gelatin, for the production of bandaging for skin wounds and lesions which, by allowing a lengthy period of protection from infection risk, require less frequent changing than traditional bandages, and enable a better and faster healing of the wounds or lesions.
